Brandon Clarke Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke (hip) will miss Friday's contest against Chicago due to a sore right hip. Clarke's fantasy stock has taken a hit since he shifted to the second unit in mid-February. With four straight single-digit scoring performances, season-long managers have likely begun to look elsewhere, even before a larger proliferation of […]

Zach Davies Continues To Struggle

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies continues to be a disappointment for his new club. The right-hander only went four innings against the Atlanta Braves on Friday and allowed seven hits, four runs, three walks and struck out one. Davies has now allowed 11 earned runs over his last two starts. The veteran is now […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss At Least Two More Weeks

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) will be down for at least the next two weeks as he continues to rehab plantar fasciitis, head coach Mark Daigneault revealed Friday. Gilgeous-Alexander faces a muddled path to returning to action this season, especially as OKC has shown a propensity for erring on the side of […]

Josh Donaldson In Lineup Against Angels On Friday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels. Donaldson sat out Thursday's game as part of the team's new strategy for managing his workload- though manager Rocco Baldelli said that the veteran third baseman would play a couple of days in a row over the weekend […]

Mohamed Bamba Will Miss Second Straight Game Friday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Raptors due a bruised hip. Bamba attempted to warm-up with the ailment hampering him, but the team has ultimately decided to keep him inactive. Averaging 12.4 points off the bench over a nine-game stretch prior to the injury, Bamba has […]

Byron Buxton Remains Out Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hamstring) remains sidelined on Friday. Buxton is dealing with a tight hamstring, an ailment that has cost him four games. The 27-year-old plans to test out the injury on the field before the game against the Angels, with manager Rocco Baldelli saying earlier that the team was assessing his availability […]

Wil Myers Back In Lineup, Tommy Pham Takes A Seat Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder/first baseman Wil Myers (knee) will make his return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers. Fellow outfielder Tommy Pham is taking a seat on the bench for the opening game of the series. Myers missed three games due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee- though fantasy managers will […]

Damian Lillard Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) has been given the thumbs down to take the floor for Friday's game against the Spurs due to right hamstring tendinopathy. The absence will mark just the third all season for Lillard, who figures to cede minutes at the PG spot to Anfernee Simons, who stands to […]

Justin Upton Returns To Lineup Friday Against Twins

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) is back in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Twins. Upton missed the last two games due to back stiffness but is slotted into the cleanup spot against Twins' left-hander Lewis Thorpe. The veteran outfielder is off to a slow start at the dish, as he's batting […]

Tobias Harris, Seth Curry, Dwight Howard All Out Friday

The Philadelphia 76ers are set to be considerably short-handed for Friday's game versus the Clippers with small/power forward Tobias Harris (knee), shooting guard Seth Curry (hip) and center Dwight Howard (knee) all ruled out. Harris' loss looms the largest, with Mike Scott likely to see a bump in minutes and usage, while Ben Simmons could […]

Mike Moustakas Scratched From Friday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (illness) is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Indians. Moustakas came down with a non-COVID-related illness and will be forced to sit out the contest, with Kyle Farmer drawing the start at third against Indians' left-hander Logan Allen. Farmer owns a career .287 batting average and .750 […]

Yusei Kikuchi Faces Depleted Astros Lineup

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi will get the start against the Astros Friday night, but the Houston lineup is missing a number of regulars. Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve, and Kyle Tucker will all be absent from the starting nine, leaving Kikuchi with a significantly easier task in front of him. Kikuchi is off to […]

Tomas Satoransky Ruled Out Friday, Coby White Draws Start

Chicago Bulls point guard Tomas Satoransky (back) will be unavailable for Friday's contest against the Grizzlies, paving the way for Coby White to return to the starting five. The two flipped starting/reserve roles shortly after the All-Star break, with Satoransky averaging 9.3 points and 6.1 assists per contest in that span. White has seen an […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Activated Off Injured List

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) has been activated off the 10-day injured list Friday. Tatis was expected to return for the weekend series against the Dodgers- he'll bat second against Walker Buehler on Friday night. The star shortstop certainly runs the risk of aggravating his shoulder, though he should remain his usual […]

Jose Marmolejos Bats Fourth Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jose Marmolejos is once again batting fourth in the lineup. This has become commonplace when the Mariners face a right-handed starter, as they do Friday against Jose Urquidy and the Houston Astros. For the year, 22 out of 24 of Marmolejos's plate appearances have come against righties, and he has produced an […]

Mickey Moniak Making Season Debut Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Mickey Moniak is in the lineup playing center field Friday in a home game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Moniak will bat eighth versus Cardinals righty Carlos Martinez. The 22-year-old only has 18 Big League plate appearances under his belt so he's not a player to rush out and add in redraft […]

Gary Trent Jr. Will Miss Second Straight Game Friday

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Magic due to a sore right ankle. The trio of Rodney Hood, Deandre Bembry and Paul Watson figure to see as many minutes on the wing as they can handle, with Stanley Johnson also a candidate to […]

Kyle Tucker Taking A Seat Friday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is taking a seat on the bench for Friday night's game against the Seattle Mariners. Tucker will give way to Chaz McCormick in right field, who will bat eighth against Mariners' southpaw Yusei Kikuchi. Tucker's fantasy managers should expect him back for the second game of the series. The 24-year-old […]

Fred VanVleet Set To Make Return To Action Friday

Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (hip) has been given the green light to get back into action Friday against Orlando, as he was removed from the team's injury report ahead of tip-off. VanVleet is set to take the floor for the first time in two weeks, which could cap his minutes, even as Toronto […]

Domantas Sabonis Has Productive Game Versus Jazz

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis had a good all-around performance against Utah on Friday, finishing a 119-111 loss with 22 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block. He had a poor 7-for-19 effort from the field but was perfect at the line with 7-for-7 shooting. Caris Levert led the Pacers with 24 […]

Jay Bruce Not In Friday's Lineup

New York Yankees first baseman Jay Bruce is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays. Bruce started each of the last two games but will cede the first-base duties to DJ LeMahieu, with Rougned Odor getting the start at second. Bruce is batting just .118 with one home run and 13 strikeouts […]

Davis Bertans Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Washington Wizards small/power forward Davis Bertans (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus New Orleans. Bertans has begun to find an offensive rhythm over his past six contests, in five of which he reached double figures in scoring. Shooting 50 percent from behind the arc in that span (with 3.8 makes per game), […]

Rudy Gobert Dominates On The Glass Versus Indiana

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert had a huge game on the class on Friday against Indiana, finishing a 119-111 win with 23 rebounds. He added 13 points on 6-for-7 shooting for his ninth double-double in 12 games. The French giant also posted four blocks with one assist and one steal. Gobert now has two games […]

Lonzo Ball Faces Minutes Limit In Return Friday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (hip) has been given the green light to get back into action Friday against the Knicks, although head coach Stan Van Gundy said that he'll be on an unspecified minutes restriction. With Ball having missed each of the team's last four games, and 11 of their past 14, […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Leads Jazz With 24 Points

Utah Jazz small forward Bojan Bogdanovic scored a team-high 24 points on 9-for-16 shooting in Friday's 119-111 win over Indiana. Donovan Mitchell was on his way to another big scoring performance with 22 points in 21 minutes, but he was forced to exit with an ankle injury and thus Bogdanovic took over the leading scorer's […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Miss Fourth Straight Game

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the 76ers due to a sore right foot. Leonard will be missing his fourth consecutive outing, paving the way for Luke Kennard, Terance Mann and Reggie Jackson to continue seeing elevated offensive roles in his absence. L.A. is unsurprisingly […]
